Hey Wonder How are you doing? Lovely to see you on here

Jillygirl spent her first night in hospital last night, hope she got a good nights sleep in and hung her "No snoring" sign up at the end of her bed She messaged to say that her heart scan went well and she has a good strong heart, but we kind of knew that anyway didn't we? Big positive vibes being sent to her for a successful op today and hopefully she will have the outcome that she's hoping for. As soon as I hear anything, I'll let you all know xx

I'm just away to pop the kettle on now, Jarvo keeps making noises to say that I don't make enough cuppa's... Pete will probably say that she's always asleep when I make it!

Well done on getting to 3 weeks Dawn, you are doing really well. How are you finding it? Are you struggling at times or are you finding it quite easy? I hope you had a nice, long weekend. I know I certainly did, can't wait for Christmas now as I'm having 2 weeks off

Sue, I promised you a present when I got back to work as you have so generously given everyone of us a present.

Well Dawn, another week under your belt. Have you over taken your summer attempt yet? I think it was your holiday then that was your downfall wasn't it? (You may now be thinking that I'm an elephant! )

Sue, I'm sorry to say that that's one of my least favourite soups - I can't stand the taste or smell of celery, don't like cooked carrots and cabbage doesn't agree with me. My fave is Heinz tomato and when I was ill when I was little that's all that I would want to eat.

Kazz, hope you're having your lunch time run - don't forget to leave a bit of energy to do some work with.

You'll get there, you're doing really well after you're initial hiccup this time so I guess you'll be looking at 6 weeks as your BIG milestone and hopefully this will make you even stronger to survive Christmas and New Year.

No I haven't done my run yet I am sat at my desk writing Christmas cards When I was ill when I was little, my mum used to do 'chucky eggs mashed up in a cup' I know that's not soup but it was lovely.

My previous attempt with Champix was 3 months Dawn so that is my next goal, oh yes and before that 9 weeks because Pete said he's going to get me a treat if I get to 9 weeks. It will probably be a half eaten cake and he will blame it on the cat .... again!

Dawn, you are now half way through to being on your way to your first milestone. In fact, as you are now entering your 4th week, you can let it feel as though you only have 2 weeks to hit your target Little steps at a time and you'll get there

Kaz, you are pretty organised aren't you? Writing out your Christmas cards... You're almost at your 8 week mark now and so it won't be long before you get your treat off Pete You're doing well

Sue, I can't believe that it's Tuesday again already, this means that its 9 weeks stopped for you today, how good is that then? I'll pop the kettle on again in a mo for another cuppa to celebrate

Andi, I went out on my lunch and braved my Day 2 of Week 2, can really feel it at the moment Looking forward to you getting that ankle sorted in the New Year so we can train in unison

Hey Delina, lovely to see you here, hope you are okay

Right, kettle going on time... I'll not have that Jarvo one calling me for not brewing up!

Wow, I thought you were joking when you said you were going in your dinner hour! It's raining again here - thought we'd done with that for a few days now. My pt session has been brought forward to today as he's got things that he has to do on Thursday so I'll see you all later.

Oh definitely much better Sue, you can't beat a few choccies in the afternoon and I think we all deserve one or two.

Well done you on 9 weeks, do you get a treat off Pete for reaching 9 weeks? I think he said I could have one because he sent me a cake with a huge piece missing so then he felt guilty and so he should. xx
